I absolutely loved this book! Great historical fiction -- not just the place and characters, but also the mystery, which is based on a true crime of the time. Realy rich issues, too, suprisingly so, and fabulous stuff about the business and challenges of writing in itself!
Crime solving at its best!

This book was great fun. It had suspense, mystery, sisterhood and much more. It centers around authors of crime novels: Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham and Baroness Emma Orczy. They called themselves "The Queens of Crime". Dorothy's husband, a reporter got word that they wanted a story of a young woman, May Daniels, who was found strangled in a park in France. So of course, Dorothy got all her counterparts in on the investigation and they proceeded to try to solve the crime. The story is told by Dorothy and she takes us on the adventure to solve the crime. I have to say that the women are very conniving and bold. They were also so much better with their detective skills than the police. The author goes into the fashion of the time of 1930's and also into theater. How women are treated at that time too is also mentioned since of course, they do not get the respect they so deserve. It was an absolute great read and I highly recommend you pick up a copy which is available 2/11/2025. Thanks to #netgalley, #stmartinspress and @authormariebenedict for an ARC of the book. All opinions are my own.
